RIPM: ONLINE ARCHIVE OF MUSIC PERIODICALS (1800-1950).

Répertoire international de la presse musicale (RIPM) has evolved from an annotated index of important nineteenth-century music journals to a project that will offer detailed and complex full-text access to a large number of music periodicals published between 1800 and 1950. The authors discuss the background of the project, the funding, and the technology; make comparisons with similar indexing projects, and conclude with an overview of the forthcoming RIPM Online Archive of Music Periodicals (full-text).
